VUE Audiotechnik h-8 Dual 8-Inch High Definition Full Range Speaker System

VUE Audiotechnik h-8 Dual 8-Inch High Definition Full Range Speaker System

The two-way h-8 brings the pristine sound quality and versatility of the larger h-12 and h-15 systems to a compact package ideal for applications where space is at a premium and the exceptional output-to-size ratio is critical. The h-8 is fitted with a 2-channel, high-efficiency power amplifier that provides ample power for both transducers while eliminating the need for noisy cooling fans. A lightweight, fully protected switch mode power supply with auto voltage detection provides hassle-free worldwide operation with universal mains operation for 120V and 230V.

Key Features

• Neodymium HF compression driver with Truextent beryllium diaphragm for exceptional high-frequency clarity and output
• Dual channel, high-efficiency amplifiers deliver ample power for both transducers while eliminating the need for noisy cooling fans
• Integrated internal VUEDrive System Engine equipped with 64-bit digital processor and tons of amplifier horsepower and universal mains operation (85V to 260V)
• Analogue, AES/EBU and Dante inputs along with built-in ethernet network switch for loop-though audio on networking.
• Pole mount, integrated hanging points and optional rigging hardware for deployment as the main system, within multi-cabinet arrays, or in a variety of support configurations.
